Which would you do?

Would you drop your truck or get new interior?

I agree, drop it. No one sees your interior while your driving down the road.

Drop it, I wish my interior would look like yours. I have to do the interior first before I can do a drop. I'm in the middle of a restoration and have no money left for a drop but I have the interior parts so that is what I'm going to do first.

OK.... why do you guys feel that lowering is a 'waste of a good truck' ? Are you implying that once lowered you can't use it as a truck?

I like them stock, lifted, or lowered.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
